Evaluating Charted (Squareworks) for NetSuite AP automation? See how DOKKA stacks up

DOKKA and Squareworks (now Charted AP Automation as of October 2025) are both NetSuite-native AP automation choices. Both integrate natively. Both eliminate manual invoice entry. The difference is architectural — and for the people processing invoices every day, it shows up as one thing: speed.

The Difference in Approach

DOKKA

A purpose-built AP workspace that's dramatically faster than working in NetSuite

DOKKA treats NetSuite as the ledger and gives finance teams a dedicated workspace optimized for the actual rhythm of AP work. Strengths include:

  • Snappy interface — pages load in under a second, navigation between invoices is instant
  • UI built for AP, not for general accounting — modeled on a physical desk, optimized for the click patterns AP teams use all day
  • ~10 seconds from invoice received to journal entry recommendation
  • Two-way native sync with NetSuite — vendors, COA, classes, locations, departments, POs
  • Approvers work in DOKKA or email — no NetSuite license required
  • AI pre-trained on millions of invoices across thousands of customers, layouts, and languages
  • Document archive included — no NetSuite file cabinet storage costs
  • Close automation extending beyond AP into reconciliations and journal entries

DOKKA fits NetSuite teams whose AP clerks process real volume — and who want NetSuite to be the system of record without forcing the AP team to live inside the ERP all day.

Charted (Squareworks)

AP embedded inside NetSuite as a SuiteApp

Squareworks goes all-in on the embedded model. Strengths include:

  • Single environment — no second system to log into or administer
  • AP records, POs, vendors, and approvals share the NetSuite data model directly
  • Inherits NetSuite’s UI patterns (familiar if your team is already in NetSuite all day)
  • Native ACH, check, and international payments without leaving NetSuite
  • Built-in 3-way match on live NetSuite data
  • Available bundled with NetSuite consulting from the same vendor

Squareworks fits small NetSuite-only AP teams comfortable working in the NetSuite interface all day, where adding zero new tools is the priority.

You’re in Good Company. DOKKA is Trusted by 3,500 Finance Teams in 14+ Countries.

Why NetSuite teams choose DOKKA instead of Squareworks

Teams often choose DOKKA when:

  • Speed matters. NetSuite is a powerful ledger but it's not built for speed — and anything running inside NetSuite inherits that. DOKKA's interface is purpose-built and snappy
  • The UI is built for AP, not for general accounting. DOKKA's interface is modeled on a physical desk — every screen, click, and shortcut is optimized for the work AP teams actually do.
  • Approvers shouldn't need NetSuite access. Department heads, project leads, and regional managers approve in DOKKA or directly from email — no NetSuite license required, no stripped-down email-only flow.
  • Product velocity matters. DOKKA ships product updates independently of NetSuite's release cadence.
  • Close automation matters as much as AP automation. DOKKA extends beyond AP into reconciliations and journal entry automation — one workspace for the work that drives month-end close.
